The Growth Company

Training and facilitation

Practical training for teams that sell, network and lead.

We train businesses, organisations and professional teams in the commercial skills that sit around growth: LinkedIn, networking, relationship building, positioning and visibility. Sessions are delivered in person or online.

What we train.

Every session is built to be used the following week. People leave with work done on their own profile, message, contacts or plan, not just notes.

Trainers and facilitators.

Martin delivers most sessions himself. Where a programme needs particular expertise, we bring in experienced specialist trainers we work with regularly. They are independent delivery partners rather than employees.

In their words

After the training.

  • It was refreshing to learn from an expert who so generously shares insight and gives bespoke recommendations on the latest tools to improve your online presence.

    Czarina Sheikh Mathew

    Business Excellence Director, The Access Group

  • Martin significantly raised our knowledge of social selling on LinkedIn through a series of workshops, giving real insight into what works and what doesn't, based on his experience and wide client pool.

    Jon Ben

    Founder and Facilitator, Hidden Solutions

  • Engaging, knowledgeable, informative. I would highly recommend Martin to support anyone developing their profile, visibility and credibility. If you want to get ahead on LinkedIn, there is no better man to speak to.
